We
always, always cook for Thanksgiving. I really enjoy the full day in
the kitchen surrounded by family. But, this year, we are celebrating my
mom's big birthday with a trip and so we will all be eating out, which I'm
actually looking forward to as a change. This is the reason I'm so
focused on my Christmas meal (menu and tablescape) because I feel like
it has to be doubly as special to make up for missing Thanksgiving. I
just spotted the cake I will be making for dessert (a ginger baked
Alaska!!). As I dream up my ideal table setting I spotted these fabulous decor pieces in whites, gold and silver. I am envisioning a beautiful and simple Holiday table (Gnome Included!). How fun would it be to get a couple of those gnomes for the center of the table? They would certainly add some humor.
